A tricycle rider sustained injuries when a weak tree in the Central Business District of Kumasi fell on his tricycle during the busy hours of Wednesday morning.

The injured rider, believed to be in his early thirties, has yet to be identified.

Eyewitnesses reported that the tree, which had been observed as weak for weeks, fell on a van, with parts of its branches landing on the tricycle.

The incident occurred while the tricycle was negotiating a curve.

A section of the tree's stem fell on the windscreen of the tricycle, causing injury to the rider.

Eyewitnesses informed Luv News that the tree had been leaning to one side of the road since the onset of the rains, showing signs of danger.
